Camp Mowglis

"Mowglis formed me into a better boy and now man. I am eternally grateful for Mowglis. I was a camper in the 80's, later the crew coach and later still on the board. Both our sons attended and then served/serve as counselors. I have seen beautiful growth though Mowglis in them. My grandfather and granduncle attended as well ~1910's. Many of my closest friends were formed at Mowglis. Mowglis is a treasure, maybe more important in our current day than ever. Thank you Mowglis!"

"I spent 9 consecutive summers at Camp Mowglis, and rate the experience as one of the foundations for my growth as a person. I not only had a series of amazing summers, but I was taught important life skills that I could not, and did not receive anywhere else in my life. I have seen immense change and growth in the young boys and men who choose to take that terrifying 7 week leap, so much so that I can't wait until I am lucky enough to send my son. If Mowglis is even a remote consideration for your family, I urge you to take that leap and see for yourself the impact of this place."

"I am a legacy Mowglis graduate (1969) with a great uncle, cousins, and a son all Mowglis alumni as well. Every one of us would say without hesitation that it is the single most important maturing influence of our lives. You don't just "go to camp" for the summer, you live the "Mowglis Way" while there and beyond. This is truly the exceptional growth experience through which boys begin the purposeful journey to adulthood with tremendous achievement, pride, and FUN together along the way."

"I went to Mowglis in the 70's and now both of my sons have successfully completed the full Mowglis program. As the "School of the Open", Mowglis combines the best of experiential education with a proven and tested traditional summer camp experience for young men that prepares them for success in High School and beyond. Some of my closest friends today are the friends I made 40 years ago at Mowglis and I continue to use the lessons I learned those many summers ago to guide my decisions today."

"Our family was introduced to Mowglis in 2002. Our oldest son had spent 3 weeks the previous summer at a large boys camp on Lake Champlain. While this was/is a wonderful camp, with a long and storied history, we found it was just too big for our son. However, being believers in the camp experience we investigated several other traditional boys camps in Maine before deciding on Mowglis. What appealed to us about Mowglis was the small and nurturing environment, the emphasis on traditional camp activities, the crew program and the seven week length of stay. We also appreciated that the boys and staff came from all over the country and the community included international boys (as opposed to drawing a lot of boys from the same town). My husband and his brothers had all attended an 8 week camp, and he felt strongly this was an important part of the personal growth that happens over the course of several summers. We are now the parents of 3 Mowglis graduates and all our boys have also been on the staff. I know they had opportunities that would not have been available to them at a larger camp; but, more importantly, I know they learned lessons about values and character that will last a lifetime."
